Digging on beaches should be left to professionals
STORIES OF THE NEARLY NORMAL
A German man trying to make the most of a late summer holiday in Spain decided a perfect Nearly Normal way to spend a day would be to dig a tunnel on the beach.
The 23-year-old started on the Tenerife beach by digging a three-metre deep hole. It took several hours. But then, before he could start the tunnel proper, the sides of the hole collapsed, burying the man up to his neck.
His girlfriend - showing a forgiving attitude to playing second-fiddle for hours to a sand-digging exercise - alerted emergency services. Given the size of the hole and the threat of further collapses, it took 15 firefighters nearly two hours to extricate the man.
